Oh, and where was the "intentional misrepresentation" of Fluzie Fluke by Limbaugh? Do you even know what he said?
She opened her OPINION up for criticism....and floozie is how it's spelled ...try to get your insults at least spelled correctly...


Yes, I know what he said...he said it for THREE days....he lied and said she wanted someone else to pay for her BC.

Has he no SHAME?????????

He's a jerk and what I am trying to grasp (maybe you have a hold on this one) is why his followers have such a hard time understanding that it is not his place to call someone a **** and demand that she send him sex tapes because she feels that insurance should cover birth control. Why don't you ask them why they care so much that they blindly defend him and think that he can do no wrong?
The guy is a RADIO PERSONALITY. This is not some elected official laying the smackdown on someone. The fact people such as yourself are getting so worked up about what was said is hilarious. Perhaps his followers understand that he is an entertainer and don't take his every word as the gospel as it appears some people around here do.

Do yourself a favor and avoid going to any adult-oriented stand-up comedy shows as you might have suffer a brain aneurysm.

She not a prostitute , because I think she probably has sex for the enjoyment of the act, rather than to make money from engaging in the act. She really shouldn't be called a slu*, because that would make other 'saucy women' look bad. What do you call someone who thinks other people 'owe' her something? Guess I could come up with lots of names I couldn't use here. I don't think Rush should have apologized to this mindless woman, but I don't think it was Obama's place to call her on the phone and sympathize with her either. I hope Rush broadcasts a list of sponsors who dropped him, it would be interesting to see what they have to say about their dropped orders.
DUHHHHHHHH....you never heard his comments but you agree with him???? Talk about a Blind Follower!!!!! BRILLIANT!!!


She did NOT ask anyone else to pay for her BC...that is a lie...but don't let that minor point stop ya!

Attempt to brush it off however you feel the need. His followers hang on his every word and believe he's brilliant. If you don't see this in some of the posts here, well I can't say that I would be surprised since you are coming off as a little subjective. I thought it was low when Letterman attacked Palin's daughter and I think what Rush said was low too. I've been to plenty of adult-oriented stand-up comedy shows. I know the difference between a joke and a classless chauvinist pig, thank you very much. I will speak my opinion - just like Rush did on the radio. As Rush is learning their are consequences for unwarranted personal attacks, especially when it is based on gender. Rush is gross but he doesn't sleep in my bed so I will be okay, but again, who are you to tell me what I am supposed to feel?

And no matter what she said you would think , in this CHRISTIAN nation which is under God and all that crap that decent god-loving people would find fault with the vulgar assault on a woman who just stated her opinion.
If she wanted to pay for her own birth control in the first place, why not just write a check, take delivery of the pills (or whatever) and be done with it. Why the need to go before Congress?

Why can't the Left beat these guys with their brilliant ideas?
All those companies, that sponsored the Rush show and now dropped him, are on the LEFT?

I really doubt that Limbaugh will be hurt by this advertising-wise. The only bad pub is no pub. In fact, it will probably boost his ratings which will in turn boost his ad rates. But who knows. Either way it's speculation.

The advertisers such as Pro-Flowers who pulled out also are getting huge benefits. They are getting mentions in news stories all over, which is worth mega bucks in itself. Some of these advertisers might be right back on board after a suitable 'mourning' period. Either way, Limbaugh is not going to be hurting for money anytime soon.

Why don't you find the transcript of what she said and you'd FINALLY know the truth.


The Republicans in Congress called a meeting on BC and their panel of witnesses were all MEN.

So the Democrats said hey, this involves women...let's include them.

So they asked Fluke her opinion.


She wanst fairness. She does NOT want anyone to pay for her BC...and she NEVER said so.


She wants what she pays for with her insurance premiums which SHE pays...

Do you understand ? SHE pays her health insurance premiums and wants them to cover what she pays for.

SHE pays her health insurance premiums and wants them to cover what she pays for.




SHE pays her health insurance premiums and wants them to cover what she pays for.

Did she read the policy before paying the premiums? You would think a law student would read what was and was not covered in her plan. If it did not cover contraceptives, she could have shopped for a plan that did cover them, or purchased them from planned parenthood or any drug store.

You would also think there should be more encouragement of the use of condoms instead of birth control pills in a college setting due to increased chance of having multiple partners during your stay at school. At least condoms prevent STDs and are cheap to purchase.

According to the right wing , the more you criticize Rush, the more popular he gets.

He's like the blog, the more you throw at him, the bigger he gets.
